Your Cub looks great! Would have liked to have come up for your Fly In, but schedule didn't allow. Really liked your cowl and the paint and graphics. My Cub runs a VVRC 40 twin (the just got a new batch in stock), with the PR Bushwheels struts and 1/3 Dubro tires. I run a 20 inch prop and haven't had but one prop strike (blew a takeoff, don't ask). My engine starts easily and idles smooth. I changed the graphic colors and N number. My exhaust stacks were cut so that the cowl comes off easily and you only see about a 1/4 inch of each exhaust pipe. Power to spare and I only have a max of 3/4 throttle opening, still fly mostly at 1/3 throttle.
